Australia Sues Amazon Over Kids' Backpack Safety
Australia's Competition Regulator Sues Amazon
Australia's competition watchdog has launched Federal Court proceedings against Amazon's local unit over allegations that children's backpacks sold on its online marketplace lacked mandatory button battery warning labels.
Details of the Case
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) claims that Amazon's NASDAQ:AMZN local unit failed to include required safety warnings on children's backpacks in its possession or control. Button batteries pose a serious ingestion risk to young children.
The ACCC seeks penalties for alleged breaches of consumer safety laws. Amazon has not yet issued an official statement regarding the lawsuit.
